Starved Rock Runners Ltd. brings to you, a rewards program for participating in club races. Club members will have the opportunity to earn a unique reward. At this time, we are exploring options and "top secret". In 2024 it was a full zippered hoodie that was printed with reflective material to be seen during the early morning or late evening runs. These were customized by an embroidered SRRL logo and your name. I am sure 2026 reward will be even better. These will be presented at the Annual Banquet in March of 2027.
There will be no cost to members, only that you will need to register no later than 15JUNE2026. That is all you need to do.
There will be 4 club races in 2026; Lori’s Walleye 5k (March), Boo Milby 5k (August), Run the Path 10k (November), and Turkey Trot 3 Mile (November). Each race will be worth 3pts with the exception of Run the Path will be worth 6pts. Members can also earn the same number of points by volunteering at the club races. There will be an extra opportunity to volunteer the night prior to Turkey Trot worth 3pts.
To earn the unique reward, members will need to earn 15pts. Yes, that means you would need to participate in each club race by running or volunteering. However, we are allowing you to “double dip” by volunteering prior or after the race and running the race for a point value worth 4pts for each race or for 9pts for RTP. This will allow members to miss participating in 1 event should you be on vacation, for personal reasons, or simply don’t like the weather conditions during a certain race.
Because some people go above and beyond, (WE THANK YOU!!) a bonus items (TBD) will be awarded to those that have 18+Pts.
Members can work the points to their advantage however they see fit. But the available slots to “double dip” will be limited by the Race Director as there will be only so many spots that will allow you to volunteer and run said race.
Plan on running or volunteering at Lori’s Walleye 5k in March to start earning points.
